[Meta] 'Zero-configuration' support for latest R and OS versions #267
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
People are frustrated that RProvider - on certain platforms, architectures, or R versions - doesn't 'just work'. People also get frustrated with the (sometimes) requirement to add R_HOME environment variables or specific fixes to the windows PATH, to name a few configuration quirks.
Describe the solution you'd like
All the latest OS versions (linux, macos, windows) are tested and work with the latest R version (currently 4.3.3) and require zero configuration for all standard R installations.
